The Oakland Raiders have signed two more draft picks to contracts.

The team announced deals with sixth-round linebacker Travis Goethel and seventh-round defense back Jeremy Ware on Thursday. The team has signed five of its nine draft picks.

The Raiders also did not sign defensive lineman Richard Seymour to a long-term deal by a deadline Thursday. The Raiders now will be unable to sign Seymour to a long-term deal until after the season because he is their franchise player.

Seymour signed a $12.4 million exclusive franchise tag tender last month.
